On the Pick 3 ticket, the digit you did not select will appear as an X.

When you play Pick 3 Pairs, the other digit in the winning number will not affect the outcome of your pair.

Other ways to play Pick 3

You can:

Wager 50 cents on a Pick 3 number or pair. If you win with a 50 cent wager, you win half the prize for a $1 wager.

Play 50/50 and split your wager half on Exact Order and half on Any Order. Not available on Pick 3 Pairs wagers.

Play Easy Pick and let the computer pick your number. Check the chart above for details on Pick 3 prizes, options and
the chances of winning.

Play COMBO: Wager $1 on all exact-order combinations of a Pick 3 number. Win $500 if one of those combinations is drawn.

Optional Plays

Mark the OPTIONAL PLAYS box for any of the following. Playing more than one drawing increases the ticket price by the
number of drawings you choose.

Multi-Draw: Play more than one drawing, including the next.

Advance: Play any future drawing, or drawings, except the next.

Repeat: Your play repeats for more than one ticket.

Pick 3 sellout

Popular numbers sell out sometimes. Buying Pick 3 numbers is similar to buying tickets to a ball game or a concert: Any number
could sell out. If you buy Pick 3 tickets early in the day, or in advance, you should be able to get the number you want.

For a Pick 3 drawing, 16,000 Exact Order tickets are available for each number. If a sold-out Pick 3 number is drawn, the
Lottery would pay $8 million in prizes for that sold-out number. A sold-out number has the same chance of winning as any
other number.

2 chances a day

Pick 3 drawings are held twice daily, seven days a week. Cut-off time to buy tickets is 1:53 p.m. for day drawings and 10:45
p.m. for night drawings.
